Audax Mrozik Gawler | Australia

Introduction: 

Audax M. Gawler (née Luna Mrozik Gawler) is a multigenre Symbiopunk artist and researcher whose transdisciplinary practice envisions a post-anthropocentric future rooted in compassion, ecological stewardship, and interspecies kinship. Their immersive, research-led projects span speculative design, participatory performance, and media arts, drawing on queer/trans ecologies, posthuman theory, and the natural sciences to reimagine multispecies futures. Internationally recognized and widely commissioned, Audax’s work has been exhibited, published, and supported by leading art, academic, and environmental institutions. They are also an active community organizer, educator, and founder of multiple collaborative platforms exploring ecology, identity, and collective world-building.

Among the projects are: Carrykin (2023) — an installation-clinic exploring interspecies surrogacy; MEEP (2022) — a framework for evaluating multispecies engagement within cultural institutions; Emissary 2920 (2020) — a speculative practice where viruses act as agents of interspecies learning; Flight Path (2019) — an immersive lab for developing kinship with insects; Mokita (2017) — an extended ritual for collectively processing ecological grief; and Autocthonia — a project investigating soil health and deeper ecological connection. These works combine artistic, scientific, and ritual methodologies to generate multispecies modes of perception, care, and participation in the face of ecological crisis.
